Origin & Breeding History: 'Deluxe' originated from a controlled cross conducted by the breeder in Le Barp, France. The cross was made in 2007 between the variety '16.01.18' as the female parent and 'Darselect' as the male parent with trials on the resulting progeny conducted from 2008 until 2012. In 2012, 'Deluxe' was selected in Le Barp, France as a single seedling based on its fruit quality, size, colour, taste, flavour, yield; easy harvesting and storage qualities. Official control trials were conducted from 2012 to 2014. 'Deluxe' was first propagated by rooted cuttings at the farm of LeMerle2 in Le Barp, France in the summer of 2008.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Deluxe' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2012/0164, purchased from the Oficina Española de Variedades Vegetales in Madrid, Spain. The trials were conducted by the Oficina Española de Variedades Vegetales at Finca Experimental El Cebellar, Moguer (Huelva) and Centro Instituto de Investigación y Formación Agraria y Pesquera Churriana-Málaga in Madrid, Spain from 2012 to 2014.
